During the chat, Boyega also admitted he'd skipped to the end of the script to find out if his character died.

"I like to go to the end of the script and just see what happens and just see if I survive first," he said.

In one scene, Boyega goes head to head with Captain Phasma, played by Gwendoline Christie, and he revealed she is a "formidable fighter".

Boyega’s not happy.

"Gwendoline has a Mohammed Ali reach and her speed is actually ridiculous, so for someone like me, I rather dodged that because I like my face. Gwen's a formidable fighter, she knows what she's doing, she really does."

"We trained with each other and got really close in the process because with training, you see each other in pain and how you hurt each other or you're doing these fight coordinations. It was pretty cool but challenging."
